11 Arguments For Supping On (Chilled) Soup in the Summer

Summer isn't typically considered to be soup season, as a piping-hot meal is the last thing you want on a scorching night. But that doesn't mean you should write off this light and breezy category of food, there are plenty of chilled soup options out there, perfect for balmy nights as they provide much-needed internal air conditioning. Additionally, all of these cool creations can be made ahead (excluding garnish) and enjoyed throughout the week; as an added bonus, in many cases the flavors bloom and mellow when sent to the fridge to chill out overnight.
